Bristlenose Pleco - the best cleaning pleco IMO. Great cleaner, slow grower, doesn't make must waste, and never gets overly big. 1000% better than a common pleco.

1000% expensive than normal pleco too Yah, normal pleco is a great problem of India. most of the aquarists here buy them and then throw them in the nearest pond when they overgrow the tank. We can actually catch normal pleco very easily from ponds. But the worst part of it is that, they are creating various problems for the native fishes.
Around here, they aren't that much more money. I can find 2"-3" BSN at LFS for $6-$8, while a similar sized common is about $3-$6. BSN are really easy to breed as well.

That sucks that people are so irresponsible. It was that kind of non-sense that got Snakeheads banned in the US.
Love the new set up, I think it looks much better then before. Great tank and beautiful fishes. I'm thinking of switching to malawi tank myself but not anytime soon. I'm kinda torn between them and discus/angel community. If I decide on malawi cichlids I'll surely be asking for some tips from you when the time comes
